Re: WBB Tournament Game Thread
The NAU women are playing like they are deserving of their number one seed, so far. I am trying to tolerate these announcers....
Easier to do since UM and MSU are not playing.

Apparently someone paid attention as the women’s crew was replaced for the championship game.Bobcat4Ever wrote: ↑Mon Mar 06, 2023 3:41 pmThose two were terrible for the MSU vs PSU game. They were absolutely shrieking (play-by-play the worst) into their microphones every time Portland State made another three. It was beyond cringeworthy. Why don’t the adults at the Big Sky offices listen to the two products and give the women a better crew. Title lX is supposed to provide for equal treatment, and I’m saying the women are really getting the short end of the stick when it comes to the TV announcers. The men’s crew is even-handed and always professional. The Conference needs to fix this to be fair to the women. I know there are good women announcers available, if that’s a requirement. The lady that used to do PSU (and now does the color), Terri, is always good to listen to.

It seems to me that these two ladies are so pro UM that this might as well be UM's own announcers. Whenever the MSU women are on TV, I have to mute the TV sound. I would rather watch the game in silence OR listen to the MSU announcer 30 seconds out of sync than to listen to the incredibly bias for UM that these two women exude.
The “new” crew did a much better job.
I hope to never hear Alex Eschelman’s voice again.
That shrill, nasally, whiney voice.
Mute with Spotify playlist was the way to go.

Re: WBB Tournament Game Thread
Not quite sure what you mean. Tracy Warren has done all the Women’s play-by-play. Krista Redpath has done the color except Christy Thomaskutty worked the Championship. It was Tracy Warren (worst offender) and Krista Redpath who did the MSU vs PSU game. Alex Eschelman didn’t do game announcing (to my knowledge) but did the Courtside interviews.DMMDCats wrote: ↑Thu Mar 09, 2023 10:46 amApparently someone paid attention as the women’s crew was replaced for the championship game.Bobcat4Ever wrote: ↑Mon Mar 06, 2023 3:41 pmThose two were terrible for the MSU vs PSU game.

It least we didn’t have to hear “Dorian” White continually said by the prior 3 years play by play announcer

I did not see that Tracy was on the broadcast. They weren’t shrieking constantly. I saw Thomaskutty and figured they replaced them both.
I really don’t pay much attention to announcers.
Dark Side of the Moon works for so many broadcasts, not just the wiz.
Yup, AE is the big sky conf interviewer. And she is not good at that job. I like Tanaka…though.
90% of the people doing that job are not good at it. They just can’t do anything about else.
They might have to work.
All in good fun.

Re: WBB Tournament Game Thread
I was surprised that Sac State got a 13 seed. That's about as good as the BSC is ever gonna get, for either the men or women.

Re: WBB Tournament Game Thread
Good for the conference, and good for them. I, like you, am surprised. Their first NCAA ever and they get a 13. We certainly had as much juice like the Peyton Ferris year and we’ve never sniffed a 13. Baffling. Of course I suppose that dude from over the hill is still on the selection committee.
